Marxist analysis

Who owns and controls the media???
         What role do the media play in society???
                  What ideas are spread and neglected by the media???
                           What kind of heroes are shown in the media???

These are the questions that arise when examining a marxist analysis.  Marx suggests that the ruling class determine the mode of production. They create feudalism which creates a monopoly around land in exchange for service or labor. This creates the capitalism which affects attitudes, values, personality types, and culture.


The ruling class....
- believes its own message
- make it their primary goal to develop and perfect the illusions about their class
- justifies its status and makes it difficult for society to realize they are being exploited
- try to state that capitalism is natural


Are we all victims of capitalism?!?! 

Do we subconsciously give in to the ruling class from advertising?!?!
